quartus - Linux or Windows

Feb 09, 2005 2 Replies

I have read that quartus is optimized to take advantage of the SSE instruction sets in Linux, yet not in Windows. Can I assume from this that quartus will run faster on Linux?



I am buying a new computer, and I want to decide what OS to run, and if Linux will be faster for FPGA design, than that is what I will run.



Thanx again,

Our current run time comparisons show that for the same hardware, the XP and Linux results are within 5% of each other. Either OS will work fine as far as Quartus is concerned.

Do you have a link to those run time comparisons ? I would like to see what the relationship between different chips / os is?

Thanx, nachum
